The view from its picture window looks out over endless vineyards, a typical Loire Valley sight. Down ancient stone stairs, the lower level has a wonderful entertainment room with more casual furnishings and a cosy fireplace, but equally appealing decoration.

On the upper floors, dispersed along two separate wings and two staircases, are 4 Bedrooms, each with their own bathroom, and their own fine sense of style and comfort. As in the reception areas, period portraits, and other works of art provide not only decoration, but a sense of the époque.

Of course, there is wifi.
